I take pride in my country that I live in, because we have overcome so many obstacles to this day. We were able to settle in an unknown land, survive and expand to one of the wealthiest, most sustained countries.
It really started when the Revolutionary war broke out. Thirteen small colonies joined and fought for each others freedom not some king, and defeated the strongest army in the world. It is like the story “David and Goliath”, the little guy rose to defeat the colossal adversary.
When you take account of that we formed on of the most structured governments from scratch it only gets better. We don’t please everyone one, but when you let the citizen’s vote the majority of who voted is pleased every time. There is no way to please everyone so voting ensures the majority is pleased which is the best anyone could every do.
I realize we are giving a lot of our jobs to other countries, but that is improving as citizens are buying more American goods and the unemployment rate has gone significantly down in the last year. If we get completely out of foreign support there will still be conflict over debt, but with the strongest army force in the world built solely volunteers who know that job doesn’t pay much money, but pays the most pride.
When it all boils down I have a lot of pride in our country. We survived, we built, and we grew to become what today is the greatest country of all. Being proud isn’t about being the best it’s about doing something and not regretting it always moving forward never stopping to look back.
